marriage licence pending we have several brides looking forward to tying the knot here.” Rodney Parade’s appeal doesn’t just


start and stop with sports fans however. Located on the banks of the Usk, the ground is very much a Newport landmark, providing a historical backdrop to the city from the comfort of the new state of the art hospitality facilities. “It’s not all about the rugby and we have


rooms overlooking the city as opposed to the pitch. But in the same way as a castle or stately home has its own back story, this ground has a proud history – built on land donated by Lord Tredegar in memory of his son Rodney in 1893 and site of the defeat of the All Blacks and Davis Cup tennis.


“Having worked in Newport for several


years, it’s clear to me that this is a dynamic city with a proud industrial history and a bright business future. There is definitely a market here for high-class corporate and entertaining venues and we are all excited to be part of the resurgence of this economic animal.” Rodney Parade has seen many sporting


victories over the past century and as the company moves into a new era, those successes are expected to be matched off the pitch in this exciting new venture.
